Tag Profiling

Identify, quantify, and annotate expressed genes at the level of the whole genome without prior sequence knowledge using Tag Profiling on the Genome Analyzer.

With an unlimited dynamic range, Tag Profiling empowers rare transcript discovery and robust quantification. This digital gene expression application offers a cost-effective and robust method for globally validating hybridization array data.

Tag Profiling Highlights

     

  • Universal Platform: Analyze any eukaryotic mRNA without prior sequence information

    •  

     

  • High Sensitivity: Detect single transcripts per cell in as little as 1 µg of total RNA

    •  

     

  • Digital Readout: Count the numerical frequency of each sequence in your library population and effectively eliminate background noise

    •  

     

  • Tuneable Coverage: Discover rare transcripts with unlimited dynamic range

    •  

     

  • Global Validation: Generate genome-wide data comparable to qPCR

    •  

     

  • Simple Workflow: Accelerate mRNA expresssion analysis with Illumina's easy-to-use sample prep kits and protocols
